It's fine for your dog to eat, but the fact that he seeks it out so much is concerning. <br /><br />Cleavers are very fibrous. Your dog might have some intestinal distress he is trying to clear by eating them. So I would bring a sample to the vet and ask I'd there is something up with your dog that causes him to seek these out.

Although since he eats it all of the time I knew it was safe but wanted more info. I wonder why he loves it so much? He literally seeks it out. Hmmm.

Asperula species also look similar before they bloom. Have you seen the flowers on this plant yet?<br />HenoftheWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923905932330133554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-17152721447286653352021-05-03T13:23:40.409-05:002021-05-03T13:23:40.409-05:00Hello from Perth, Ontario.

I just found several patches of young cleavers however I am doubting that it is galium aparine because it does not feel hairy to the touch. Since it is not hairy and the leaves are not round like the young plant in your photo I think it must be a different galium. I know it is not mollugo nor odoratum. Other ideas? Thank you very much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680944456622593557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-55116730634136047452020-11-04T04:09:22.764-06:002020-11-04T04:09:22.764-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Developerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725309292901405651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-88392412350670770682020-10-03T03:24:57.924-05:002020-10-03T03:24:57.924-05:00yes you might be crazy but your post is owsumyes you might be crazy but your post is owsumBest Hair Salon Singapore near mehttps://www.herabeauty.sg/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-54954177353226962632020-07-13T07:09:50.998-05:002020-07-13T07:09:50.998-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594178380586834591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-27752449168905632662020-07-06T02:38:05.937-05:002020-07-06T02:38:05.937-05:00Thank you 😁Thank you 😁Tomás Dietz (www.tomasflamenco.wix.com/sydney)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13109313109588061202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-74923191958612530942020-07-05T23:10:59.838-05:002020-07-05T23:10:59.838-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325307190079526216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-4507053106380746932020-06-16T16:48:55.224-05:002020-06-16T16:48:55.224-05:00100lbs is rather a lot for pesto, lol!

Most that I know of have use as food, seasoning, medicine or tea.<br /><br />However, because of the medicinal aspect, some should be used with caution and restraint. Gallium verum supposedly has sedative qualities, and thus should only be used with the knowledge of how to use it safely. I have not used it myself, nor does it grow by me. Galium verum looks pretty different than this plant.<br /><br />Galium aparine is also much easier to ID than other Galiums, one reason I recommend it over the others HenoftheWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923905932330133554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-88205471927430320182020-04-25T09:20:08.826-05:002020-04-25T09:20:08.826-05:00Are the kind of cleavers that don't have hooke...Are the kind of cleavers that don't have hooked hairs on them edible?<br />larosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988998583967554159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-42117015998382461962020-04-23T01:21:24.014-05:002020-04-23T01:21:24.014-05:00I blend them in smoothies in my vitamix and they a...I blend them in smoothies in my vitamix and they are just fine, without boiling. <br /><br />You can also rub them between your hands until the fibers smoosh down and eat them raw that way.Amelia Reiff Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13684154860856862238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-24432504417128271402020-04-02T00:07:09.802-05:002020-04-02T00:07:09.802-05:00Hey Jess

You will find dead leaves clinging to them a lot, which are easy to pick away, but not a lot of dirt.<br /><br />The problem is the stickers -- those hooked hairs. Many people are so sensitive to them that they can cause real throat irritation and even inflammation and reactions. <br /><br />Even when blended some of the tiny fibers may remain intact, but boiling has a better chance of removing the irritating factor.<br /><br />HenoftheWoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923905932330133554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2480056929337740687.post-91405431160369967162020-03-27T21:59:23.436-05:002020-03-27T21:59:23.436-05:00In Lisa Rose's "Midwest Foraging," s...In Lisa Rose's "Midwest Foraging," she suggests putting them in smoothies and juicing when raw.
